We place a high priority on dental emergencies. Call us in the morning and we will make every effort to accommodate you. Please do not wait, as dental infections can present serious problems that can get complicated enough to require hospitalization. Please call us at 724-869-0446 for help with your emergency during office hours.

Toothache can be caused by a wide variety of conditions. Common causes are advanced decay, root canal problems, gum disease, wisdom teeth, and infections. What to do:

1. Get a dental appointment right away!
2. If you have a throbbing pain, you will find that it is throbbing in time to your heart beat. Elevate your head, so you reduce blood pressure in the tissues that are throbbing.
3. Consider applying ice packs, unless that makes the pain worse.
4. Consider taking a pain medication, such as over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicines, like ibuprofen, (Motrin or Advil) or extra strength Tylenol or Aleve. It is best to avoid aspirin. Never put a raw aspirin on a toothache. Be very careful with to follow manufacturer's directions with any medicine!
5. Avoid taking medication from "a friend". You have no way of managing an allergic reaction or proper dosing instructions.

Swelling is often a sign of infection. This is very serious, so do not waste any time. What to do:

1. Get a dental appointment right away!
2. Do not apply heat to a swollen area, as heat can cause an infection to accelerate dramatically.

Broken Teeth range from small chips to major fractures and vertical fractures that can extend to the roots of teeth. Do not let a broken tooth go without treatment, as many broken teeth are at risk for decay. Sometimes it can hurt to bite on a tooth, but no fracture is visible. Some of these teeth have the cracked tooth syndrome, and once again, do not postpone care, as a fracture can propagate far enough to cause loss of a tooth.

Dental Injuries often occur when people have accidents, but care is sometimes postponed as other medical care is completed. We recommend early diagnosis when dental injury is suspected. Some dental signs and symptoms appear sometime after an accident; another good reason to have regular checkups.

Please call 724-272-4279 or 724-935-8236 for after hour emergency help.

I have been coming to Drs. Kokai and Feduska’s office for ten years and would recommend them to everyone ! They are top notch dentists !

Dear Drs. Linda and John,
Thank you so much for your letter in reference to referring my step father, George, for your services. I did that because of the quality of work you have always done for me. It was easy for me as there was no competition when quality is the goal. Had I known how good the teeth would have been that you have made me, I would have had it done sooner. And not only do they work well, no one can tell they are false. I can eat corn on the cob with no glue on them ! Actually, I only use the glue when the possibility comes up for me to be kissing a snaggletooth woman, thankfully, a rare occurrence.. Thank you again, to all of you. Dennis M.

We've been coming for years. We like the work they do. We never have to wait very long. Everyone is very friendly! If I have a problem, was able to get in right away.
Ron and Roseann F.

Please give them a day. You'll love their attitude and kindness. The whole staff is great!

I would like to recommend My Best Smile to anyone needing dental care. As a patient of Dr. Kokai and Dr. Feduska for 13 years, I have been extremely impressed with the service, patient care and relaxing atmosphere at their office. The staff is polite, friendly and they take the time to explain what they are doing and offer their expertise on how I can take the best care of my smile. I can’t imagine ever going to another dentist – I truly appreciate the time and level of customer care every member of the staff provides. Thank You,

I wanted to thank you for helping me these past two weeks with my teeth issues. I never really had a dentist that paid the attention to what I was telling him, or who was so gentle and understanding. Also, I owe you a thank you for giving me my smile back. I don’t hide my face when I laugh anymore. You have given me the best present ever this season.
To The Staff; Thank you for your understanding, patience and answers to my questions. You are all great people !
